:, REGULATION CONFEDERATE COAT.
Pictures accompanying DR.. Nagle's
coat show the pattern which was re-
quired to be worn. Tie collar was
covered with black velvet, and the in
signum of rank was large gold or en-
broidcred star placed near the front and
point on line with the row Of buttons
on each side. The sleeves were covered
with chevrons of gold lace, aad as per
pattern represented in the picture. The
cuffs were of black cloth or velvet, cut
with point up the outside seam of the
sleeve. The vests represent full dress in
blue cloth, and fatigue dress in gray
cloth. The pants, OF regulation pat
tern. were of dark blue cloth, having an
inch stripe of black velvet the whole
length of the outer seam and edged with
narrow gold lace Tue buttons IL 1861

lace one hundred dollars per yard. The
gray cloth Of the uniform, trimmings

HARDEE'S BATTLE FLAG.

y battle flag in the collection was the
field standard of Hardee's third corps,
and served as a guide in many battles,
from Shiloh to Missionary Ridge and
Atlanta. One of Colonel Sam Smiths
soldiers, of the Arkansas volunteers, un-
der General Pat Cleburn, cut from his
shirt-tail the cloth which was sewed into
and forms the white portion of the flag.
The patched and repaired blue cloth
was also sadly rent by shot and shell III
the engagements, which We're partici-
pated IN by the Western army.
The battle flag OF Hardee's famous old
third army corps consisted OF white
moon in the centre of u blue field. A
bayonet, also included among DR.. Nagle's
gifts, did more and better service in
sticking pigs and as e candlestick than
as as implement OF legaized murder in
the way OF warfare. The two pieces Of
4 venomous and villainous explosive
bullet were found on the field of Shiloh.
y tampod screw and brush are all that
were left Of all Enfield rifle which was
shattered IN fragments in company with
a Confederate soldier at Shiloh.

FUNERAL EXPENSES.

The funeral expenses of the late Rep
resentative Rankin amounted to 81 ,4S4. Is
The undertaker's bill was $40. Railroad
fare, sleeping berths, ETC., amounted to
:S;jS3.25. Luncheon for the committee,
:ES;35i.25; labor and material for decorating
the grave etc, 81. One bill Of 5l32. %
begins with the item Of ''fruit bought in
Washington" Another bill Of .3l30. Is
contains the item Of "digging ground
with team and four men" S20.I5. The
attendance Of the House committee at the
funeral Of Vice-President Hendricks cost
l,3S00S. The funeral expenses Of the
late Representative Hahn footed up
S95S.l0. Among the items was a funeral
wreath, S-t5, and a lunch for the COM
mittee. S37.25.
The funeral expenses show that the
usual price charged Tor casliets Tor de-
ceased members was $3.50 each, while the
average price for caskets for deceased

UsDEl: TIE HEAD OF STATIONERY.
The following are some Of the articles
purchased for the festive members:
':One progressive cuchre." That is a
frequent entry, showing that the game
is :. favorite with Congressman. "Robin-
son Crusoe's Money" Zone Pill and
Gill reader, I inches, whatever that may
be. "OHe dozen cork screws is a fre-
quent entry among the purchases.
s:Three Fassar Girls is another item.
Trunks, alligator bags, driving gloves,
check bits, travelling cases for robes,
etc, figure among the things bought
with the stationery fund. The stationery
account OF the members shows that very
few OF them use more than half the
allowance for stationery and newspapers
Tor its legitimate purpose. As . rule
members draw as lightly as possible on
this fund and put the cash in their
pockets. 7,Iany OF tilem get their sta
tionery il committee rooms. For the
last year, Of the $I25 allowed for station
cry, the following amounts were drawn
in cash: Representative Holman, S50.S1 !;
S352.5I; Long, S43.4j; His
cock, $92.17; Willis, SS2.12; Ketcham,
1871; ". D. Kelley, S119.92; Morri-
son, $il1.7G; Mr.. Pulitzer, OF New York,
drew Sis. 10 in cash and S6.21 in sta
tionery. The figures would imply that
"a allowance Of halt that now authorized
would cover the stationery demands Of
members.

4 SUBSTITUTE ZOE \ SASH.

The green cord, originally . curtain
cord, was used during the last two years
OF the war as a substitute for the green
silk sash, which the regulations required
for surgeons equipments. The first
one used by Surgeon Nagle was a mag
niticent woven silk sash, with lovely
tassels and bullion ornaments. AS the
threads were broken and became IN
travelled, the pieces were plated into
whip crackers, and also used by the
bushelers to patch rents and broken
places in clothes. etc. 4 remnant of q
shirt IS a specimen of what Surgeon
Nagle had to wear for many months Of
the latter period Of the war. AS he
started from Memphis in 1861 with linen
shirts, which cost six gold dollars q
piece, the contrast of then and now is
rather sad commentary on the results
of war, and especially of defeat and its
attendant inconvenience. \ tin ''kitch-
en-, with its various appurtenances, also
presented to the museum By DIR. Nagle,
was an Invaluable friend to soldier who
could either buy, beg or steal eggs to
cook, coffee to boil or rations to carry.
1t wss mighty useful ''trick' for gen
eral service and soldiers purposes.

again on arriving within easy speaking
distance Of tie Shah, where they stand
in the order of precedence with folded
hands. It is the habit Of the Shah to so
with some minuteness into the details OF
administration. The present Shah does
this, it is said, more than some OF his
predecessors, owing probably to the lack
Of men Of marked integrity and ability
to take charge OF departments. IN
former years it Was also the custom TO
bring criminals accused OF capital
offences before the Shah, ard the con-
demned man was executed Immediately,
either in MS presence Or III az adjoining

Shah practically abolished the custom O!

he has not altogether abandoned the eA-

commanded the instant decapltation OF

NATURAL GAS.

Would it not be good idea for
us Logan people TO discuss and work
and vote for natura! gas. In every
town IN Ohio where gas has been
obtained the population and busi-
ess of the town have rapidly in
creased, and the value of real cs
tate advanced fifty per cent.
On last Monday at depth OF
1900 feet gas was struck at Larcas-
ter, in quantity sufiiclcu, SO the re
port is, TO supply four cities of lie
size Of Lancaster. At South Bloom
inpviile, New YORK operators have
found gas while seeking for oil in
sush abundant quantity, as to lead
TO the consideration of a schemo tc
pipe line to the Hooking Valley.
We Logan people seem indiffer-
ent to the aterial Interests of OIL,
town. There is gas enough dlssI'
pating from the well across the riv-
or, which if utilized, would run ev-
cry manufacturing establishment in
our town. When proposition 10
put $4,000 III a venture to find gas,
was made to our town council, this
body of statesmen declined the
courtesy of giving the use of the
streets and alleys, for the laying of
pipes, in case gas was found. t was
claimed that the sinking of a gas
well was speculation, only anoth-
or name for enterprise, and so the
grant was denied. Another enter
prise is now on foot, that is to
"dry case" the oil we'll, and deter.
mine the amount of gas actually de
veloping, and and also to sink a
well.
An abundant yield of gas, such
as we have every reason 10 believe,
lies underneath us. will double our
population in fivo years and keep
our city on the front line.
1fthe Council stands In tfia way
of this speculation" this enter
prise, 'ets take a vote, and vots
and vote them into re- irement.
Let the business men take up a
business proposition. Talk 1t, work
it, vote 1t.
Our ticket for The sp'ing clect:eE
is, Natural gas-YES!
